Based on my past conversations with the Identity Management folks, I
think we want this in Workstation. So we also need to support KCM
caches in gnome-online-accounts for the GNOME integration. The
upstream bug is https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779140
Maybe we should also track it in Fedora?

(One problem with the existing KEYRING caches is the lack of a
notification API. The Kerberos integration in GNOME through
gnome-online-accounts ends up having to poll the kernel's keyring
every few seconds to find out about the state of credentials.

In contrast, KCM is supposed to use D-Bus signals for notification,
and in the past one could use inotify watches with FILE and DIR
caches.)

Cheers,
Rishi
